Synopsis

Danny, who was raised as a slave, has learned to fight to survive. His "master," Bart, treats him like a pet and keeps him on a collar to profit from underground fight clubs, where Danny is the primary fighter. After Bart's group is involved in a car accident, Danny escapes and meets a blind, compassionate piano tuner who offers him shelter and uses music to help him heal and rediscover his suppressed emotions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 120+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.1× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
